II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted an existing collection 
of information to OMB for review entitled,

[[Page 73812]]

``Grants and Cooperative Agreement Provisions.'' The NRC hereby informs 
potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 
that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on July 1, 2020, (85 FR 39598).
    1. The title of the information collection: Grants and Cooperative 
Agreement Provisions.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0107.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Technical 
Performance reports are required every 6 months; other information is 
submitted on occasion as needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Grants and Cooperative 
Agreement recipients.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 542 (366 responses 
plus 176 record keepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 176.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 4,127 
(3,851 reporting hours plus 276 record keeping hours).
    10. Abstract: The Acquisition Management Division is responsible 
for the awarding grants and cooperative agreement provisions in order 
to administer the NRC's financial assistance program. The information 
collected under the provisions ensures that the Government's rights are 
protected, the agency adheres to public laws, the work proceeds on 
schedule, and that disputes between the Government and recipient are 
settled.
